[yourfather]

probably t-boned

[AzKik-R]

wa wa wooo waaaa..... not very nice.
how'd the crash happen? ya know the first thing you need to do is get back in the car and go for a drive

[xtina]

pic finally loaded...you insured? the person hit you insured? see if you can get a pay out if the insurance company will send you in writting that its a write off and you can get another dc2r. take any good parts out that you want to keep and may wana sell and when/ if you get another one put the parts you kept in the new car.....

[beeza]

Damn! That hurt to look at that pic man.Sorry to see mate.Your in the place to be,OZHONDA :)

[power_of_dreams]

Seeing any car damaged is heartbreaking.

[Spoon DA9R]

"Any suggestions on what I should do would be appreciated, always helps to bounce ideas around."

[shadou]

[yourfather]

[yourfather]

[CoupeTurbo]

first question: are you insured?
second question: how did it happen? and were you at fault?
third question: was another car involved or did you hit something?

then people can offer you advice.

[Parsout]

Sorry, should have mentioned those things.. Yep, am insured (if you don't insure your car, whats the point!)

Was coming out the work car-park, turning right, had 2 lanes of oncoming traffic from the right - there was a big gap so I went like any other day, and a guy in the ute-type thing that hit me, was changing lanes behind another van, me and my mate in the car had no chance to spot him - bit unfortunate really.

So I have a few options: 1. (doubtful) may be repaired. 2. Write off - but buy the car back if it's cheap enough. 3. Write off - but dont buy the car back and use the 19 - 21g I wil get to find a new 'R.

I've driven lots of type R's, and nearly all of them at stock-standard have felt exactly the same. So hopefully one will pop up like this one did if I become on the market for another.

Cheers, D.

^^^sorry mate your at fault. L's books dictate that you can't turn out of a driveway unless the road is clear on all lanes for this exact reason. this exact scenario comes up on the computer P plate test too so I don't know why people do it...

but yeah take the time to strip it as it is more profitable in the long run. keep the car covered though or out of sight of council workers (ie garbos)... if you get reported to have "junk" like a wrecked car in front of your house too long it's like a $600 fine.

[Zilli]

dude if they try to fix your car tell them to stick it...

that aint repairable... it'll be deemed a repairable write off

[dsp26]

^^^yep... no matter how good the repair.. it won't feel like a type r

[steve88]

curiously. why do people say it just "doesnt feel right" anymore?? i mean the my car got sandwiched and i didnt notice any thing after the repair

[Zilli]

the car begins to feel loose... rattles and noises when there shouldnt be... things like that

[steve88]

that due to the shell being dented and they really cant just pull it back or reweld a non damaged pillar?

[dsp26]

no matter how good the repair, they will never be able to pull/hammer whatever back to it's perfect state from factory... causing all those rattles & loose bits etc....

[Parsout]

Wow, thanks for all the replies guys, really appreciate the feedback.

Still haven't heard back from the assessors, looks like another wasted, unproductive day.

But I did manage to get down there and grab all my gear from the car, and the lady there said you can bet on a write off.

So anyone got an awesome, clean, no dents whatsoever, complete with floormats, rear strut brace DC2R they're looking to sell? :)

Cheers, D.

[tekung89]

poor car, hope u grabbed everything u could

[xntrik]

Get the payout money and buy a new one.
You did insure it for the correct market value right?

[Spoon DA9R]

u mean agreed value?

market value of a dc2r is 16k atm....if its still that

[Glitta]

I would buy it back off your insurance company, then sell it damaged with rego.. You will get a fair bit more then what they will give it to you for selling it private damaged...

In fact I know some people that would be interested so drop me a PM when your insurance gets back to you... if that's what you deceide to do.

[doggys_fan]

i no what i feel like man
i had a proton gti that i had written off
i felt so sick afterwoods
i ended up losing 7 grand cos had da crash in the first month of da insurance year so i had to pay the full year nd i had spent a bit on her.
it hurts soo much.
feels worst then getting dumped be a hot girl

[Parsout]

Hey all, cheers again for all the feedback!

I'll be getting alot more than 16K - closer to 19K (In fact I think it's 18,900) but if the car is cheap enough, I will definitely buy it back, and sell off the parts one by one.

Hopefully, they'll ring me back sooner rather than later tomorrow and I can finally have some closure!

Cheers, D.

[Bludger]

whats your location?

how many km's did your type R have?

[Parsout]

Hi!

Well, I's definitely a write-off. But they haven't specified about the wreck just yet, but i'm pretty sure i'll buy it, and either sell the parts, *********Edit

The 'R had 91000 K's, serviced every 5000, not a scratch on her.

*************edit
Cheers, D.
